Telangana Minister KT Rama Rao has expressed utter shock over Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman reprimanding a district collector for being unable to provide her an answer to what was the Centre and state's share of rice supplied through fair price shops.
Mr Rama Rao, popularly known as KTR, said that such conduct of people holding high offices will only "demoralise hardworking AIS officers".
Mr Rama Rao, in a tweet on Friday night, said, "I am appalled by the unruly conduct of FM @nsitharaman today with District Magistrate/Collector of Kamareddy".
"These political histrionics on the street will only demoralise hardworking AIS officers," he added.
"My compliments to @Collector_KMR Jitesh V Patil, IAS on his dignified conduct," he further tweeted.
